There was a soft knock on Ramshackle's door. It was late now, far too late for anyone to really think about being out without risking trouble with the staff. Still, the sound was quiet, withdrawn... a sound hardly befitting the student who delivered it.
Rusul stood at the door, looking notably worse for the wear. He seemed... small in terms of presence, a drastic contrast to his standard energy and mischief.
(🦜Rusul Sader, @night-raven-miscellany )
[Uri was the one to greet him at the door, blinking in surprise. Had Silas let him through? That seems to be the case, given…Rusul’s current state. They consider for a moment what to say, eventually speaking up,]
“Hey, did…something happen? You look…well. Awful.”
[Good job, Uri. Way to put it lightly. Regardless, this doesn’t seem like big enough of a choice to rewind. The consequences pop-up hasn’t appeared yet.]
"Prefects, would you be interested in joining me on a trip to my hometown for the weekend? There is a festival happening, and I think you'd all enjoy a break from the chaos of campus..."
The beastwoman smiles, giving off her signature charming persona she always used while working at the lounge.

[Shiyuu hums in confusion as he looks up from his book, adjusting his reading glasses. Grim is sound asleep on his lap, likely in a food coma.] “Oh, uh…I’m the only prefect. These guys are my dormmates,” [He explains, giving an awkward smile.]
[Inno waves very eagerly. Uri and Celeste give polite nods. Silas just stares quietly.]
“Festival, you say?” [Celeste pipes up, tilting her head.] “What kind? I hear there’re lots of ‘em, neva really got the chance to go to one ourselves.”
[Inno grins widely, standing up with a wagging tail.] “Ooh, a festival sounds fun!”
Uri edition! I figured since I did one with Shiyuu, I’d do one with Uri too—
A small Zorua nervously scans its surroundings. Just a bit ago, they had been taking pictures for a school contest. Then, all of a sudden, they ended up in a cave!
This Zorua isn’t an ordinary zorua, either. They were blue and wispy, nothing like the zorua seen nowadays. The ends of their tail, neck and head fluff flickered as if they were a ghost.
They had already realized they’d been turned into a pokemon. They knew as soon as they looked down at their tiny paws. This was all so familiar to them, since they had just been playing a game with this concept.
[Note: This takes place in Scarabia during Book 4! A storm is brewing, and Uri is trying to figure out what to do…]
[Also, this is slightly different from canon!]
(Warning for MILD spoilers of book four)
“Yeah, sure. I guess I’ll stay.”
Uri found that staying at Scarabia was inevitable. If they wanted to decline, something would force them to accept. They figured there’s no point in delaying the inevitable.
As they’re led to the spare room, Uri looks around. The scenery was at least nice…it’d make for a great photo. They hang back as the other prefects are led to the room, waiting until they were gone to pull out their camera.
Uri found it at Sam’s shop, surprised at the relatively cheap price. These would go for quite a lot of money in their old world. Apparently, Sam said, no one was really interested, so he marked the price down. Uri was extremely grateful that they had saved up the thaumarks, purchasing it along with some magic film (it was enchanted so it never ran out).
Uri had the ghost camera too, but that was better for photographing people rather than landscapes. That was what this camera was for.
They raise the camera up to their eye, snapping a picture of the gorgeous desert-like view from the dorm.
(as sort of a reference)
Taking the photo from the slot, Uri flaps it in their hand to help it develop. They almost miss the sound of footsteps approaching them. Almost.
A pair of golden, gleaming eyes stare out from the shadows in curiosity, a single, lone indication of any sort of presence. The silhouette makes no attempts to speak, but instead peers out at the strange building that he has found himself in.
Rickety walls rattle and creak while ghosts float about the Ramshackle dorm, a building that Casimir felt a strange familiarity towards while he had darted from place to place... though he couldn't exactly explain why. Which is why he stayed confined to the shadows in a corner, watching intently as students passed by.

✨️aforementioned baby cas ask. Feel free to get to this if u want to but if not its no biggie :) )
(Hope I’m not too late to respond to this! Decided to use a couple of my less often used Ramshackles~!)
[Two students had been casually strolling the halls. Celeste and Uri had the day off (for once, no thanks to Crowley).]
[Uri happens to be looking around as Celeste chats, startling at the sight of the eyes in the shadows.] “Hh—”
“Eh?” [Celeste stops as well, glancing over at Uri.] “Why did you stop— OH MY GOD—”
[Yeah. They’re shocked.]
“Uri. There’s another child in our dorm.”
“I can see that. What do we do?”
“Can’t we call Silas or Shiyuu? They’re good with kids!”
An alternate universe where my Twst ocs are monsters… >:3
cws: implied death, monsters…idk it’s something 😭

Shiyuu and Uriel are just normal humans. They both ended up in this world by strange circumstances. However, neither are oblivious to the dangers that NRC holds.
Shiyuu finds it exciting. Real monsters? How thrilling! It’s just like the books they remember reading. From what they can remember, at least.
Uri is a bit more cautious. While they may be outwardly lighthearted and playful, they’re observing. Taking notes. Learning the patterns and traits of each person at this school.

Yuume used to be human. However, they were turned into a vampire by a former student, now cursed with immortality and a bloodlust that is nearly insatiable. He doesn’t let this get in the way of anything, though. He only feasts from animals that are already dead or dying, putting them out of whatever misery was inflicted on them previously.
One of the perks of being turned happened to be the immunity of most diseases. Aside from that, Yuume can turn into a bat if she so wishes, or a Pegasus. The Pegasus is…harder to explain.
They prefer to hide in the shadows rather than be outwardly hostile, too anxious to actively hunt humans down. However, they are far from soft. Push them too far or hurt their loved ones, and they won’t hesitate to hurt back.
Seraph is also a vampire, but doesn’t really pay much mind to it. She treats it like a normal thing. The school happens to supply blood banks for the vampires who are less willing to feast on humans (per the students’ request…Crowley was a bitch to convince).
~ 🐾 ~
Werewolves were not common in Pomefiore. But, Chase happens to be one. Despite the rivalry between werewolves and vampires, Chase is doted on by the others in the dorm. Perhaps it had to do with his domestic origins. He wasn’t really a werewolf, more of a weredog. He was sort of treated like a very beloved show dog…not that he minded. His fur has never looked silkier!

One of the two war generals was not quite what people expected. Wuzhi is the descendant of the Monkey King and heir to the throne, a highly respected warrior despite her outwardly young age. However, she is still reckless and uncontrolled. Because of this, her adoptive dad (Lilia) has access to the tightening spell attached to Wuzhi’s golden circlet, the same one used by her grandfather, Sun Wukong. It’s the main reason why she hasn’t gone on a rampage when bored…she is very capable of releasing mayhem on the entire school and more.
Her powers are far beyond understanding, even she’s still learning. Her potential has made her one of the biggest threats, should she ever get bored of living quietly. Fortunately for the rest of the world, that does not seem likely.
~ 💭 ~
No one at the school knows the origins of the mysterious dragon boy that showed up one day. He seems bonded to the two humans, however.
An intense aura of power radiates from his being. Inno is a being of pure magic, born from science and sheer will. Blood has stained his hands…not that he lets anyone know of it. He covers his past with cheerful smiles and a playful attitude.
Just don’t push too far. For everyone’s safety, okay?

A bakeneko is lurking in the shadows of Octavinelle. This yokai goes by the name of Rocky. He’s a sarcastic and laid-back person, but he has a fiery temper and a vengeful soul.
Formerly being an abandoned kitten, Rocky became a vengeful yokai that slaughtered the ones that abandoned him without remorse. He now ends the lives of those that are abusive to their pets, cats in particular. Being able to shapeshift into a human is certainly helpful for this goal, especially since he happens to have a natural charisma about him.

Sadiya Abadi is known as the Harpy of Scarabia. Technically, they’re a harpy-siren hybrid…they don’t look nearly as monstrous as the other harpies of her species, thanks to her siren genes. However, she still can be monstrous in personality.
She often uses her voice to lure wayward souls to Scarabia and provide food for the rest of the dorm, feasting on them once the others have taken care of the dirty work for her. She’s very respected in the dorm, and protected due to the luxurious feathers sprouting from her arm-wings and tail.

One of two homunculi in Diasomnia. Not much is known about Binx in particular, but they can certainly give humans quite the fright when he removes parts of his body entirely.
~ 🦉 ~
You might expect some kind of harpy, like Sadiya. But, no. Anya is a witch.
…okay, maybe you were expecting the witch.
Witchcraft is natural for some specific humans, making them essentially…not quite human. Witches have pointer ears, sort of like fae. A natural knack for spells and potions comes with this genetic trait, and witches all have varying— yet high— levels of mana, or magic energy.
Although, Anya mostly uses it for pranks.

Emma is a selkie adopted by sea monsters.
…yeah.
Emma is a peaceful person, preferring to feast on fish rather than humans. However, you still shouldn’t mess with them…their family is extremely protective, especially when they’re in their human form. Someone is always protecting them. This is due to their seal skin, which they shed when they turn human. If it’s taken, then they can’t return to their seal form. This is, to put it bluntly, very bad. Thus, they’re always protected.
~ 🔧🎨 ~
Argos is a mad scientist, to explain it simply. Mai has sort of become his assistant, being a project come to life…like Frankenstein’s monster. However, the difference is that Argos actually cares about Mai. Martha is also there, sort of like a sister to Mai.
This one is hard to explain LMAO

Ever see something move from the corner of your eye? Something creeping in the shadows at the dead of night, staring at you while you sleep. When you wake up and can’t move, he’s there. Standing at the edge of your bed, staring into your very being.
Silas is a sleep paralysis demon, as well as a well-known cryptid. He usually lurks the Ramshackle courtyard, scaring any poor soul that wanders onto the property. He is tall, imposing, ominous…some say that a few have even died just from seeing him face-to-face.
